Though dogs can take care of themselves, they choose not to—instead focusing their efforts on chasing squirrels, licking marmalade off babies, and learning American Sign Language. Give your pent-up pup some quality sidewalk time with today's Groupon: for $57, you get five days of dog walking from Dog-On Leash (a $115 value). Groupon users must live in Danville or San Ramon.

Insured and bonded by Kennel Pro, Dog-On Leash's canine caretakers help busy and traveling professionals keep fidos fit, friendly, and svelte with daily exercise and interaction. Experienced dog handlers will take out your terrier or chase-starved schnauzer for five days of docile dog workouts ($23/day). After an initial meeting, house keys may be presented for the remaining four days, and Dog-On Leash walkers will pick up pooches for 30-minute play dates filled with walking, hopscotch, and bacon-flavored board games. Regular and rigorous exercise can help curb bad behavior in malcontented mastiffs, and it keeps canine companions from turning ankles during games of pickup basketball.
